Trump’s trial set to kick off today

The second Senate impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump is scheduled to kick off today with some of the key questions about the trial itself -- including how long it will go and whether any witnesses will be called -- still unanswered. The ultimate outcome of the trial does not appear to be in doubt: Trump will be acquitted by the Senate for the second time, falling well short of the two-thirds votes needed for conviction. But that doesn't mean the next week -- and possibly two -- will be without drama as the House impeachment managers recount the destruction caused in the deadly January 6 riot and argue that Trump was the one who incited the insurrectionists to ransack the US Capitol.
